SUDAAN Question: predicted effect statement

[talktorob]

Greetings,

I am trying to estimate the means of a continuous outcome called 'sbpchangemed' at different levels of a categorical variable (called acescore with 5 levels) (exposure) at three different values of a continuous variable (called hsiscore).  I found the mean within each tertile of hsiscore. Tertile 1, low, has a mean of 2.0. Tertile 2, medium, has a mean of 10.3, and Tertile 3, high, has a mean of 29.5. 

I tried the following code but have received the enclosed error message. I have tried a couple of things with the syntax to no avail. 

Thank you so much for your help. Please let me know if I can help clarify anything.

proc regress data = Analyze filetype = sas design = wr ;

subpopn keep2 = 1 ; 

nest  strata2 psu2;

weight weight2;

class acescore female ethnic incgt30k1 hsedu married insurance1 engpref1 nativity ;

model sbpchangemed = acescore age1 followuptime2 female ethnic incgt30k1 hsedu married 

insurance1 engpref1 nativity bmi1 sbp1med hsiscore acescore*hsiscore ;

reflevel acescore = 0 ;

setenv decwidth = 2 ;

predmarg hsiscore / hsiscore = (2, 10.3, 29.5) ; 

pred_eff acescore = (-1 1 0 0 0) * hsiscore(2) / name = "1 vs 0 hsiscore =2";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 1 0 0) * hsiscore(2) / name = "2 vs 0 hsiscore =2";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 1 0) * hsiscore(2) / name = "3 vs 0 hsiscore =2";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 0 1) * hsiscore(2) / name = "4+ vs 0 hsiscore =2";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 1 0 0 0) * hsiscore(10.3) / name = "1 vs 0 hsiscore =10.3";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 1 0 0) * hsiscore(10.3) / name = "2 vs 0 hsiscore =10.3";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 1 0) * hsiscore(10.3) / name = "3 vs 0 hsiscore =10.3";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 0 1) * hsiscore(10.3) / name = "4+ vs 0 hsiscore =10.3";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 1 0 0 0) * hsiscore(29.5) / name = "1 vs 0 hsiscore = 29.5";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 1 0 0) * hsiscore(29.5) / name = "2 vs 0 hsiscore = 29.5";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 1 0) * hsiscore(29.5) / name = "3 vs 0 hsiscore = 29.5";

pred_eff acescore = (-1 0 0 0 1) * hsiscore(29.5) / name = "4+ vs 0 hsiscore = 29.5";

run;

Apologies for omitting. The log shows the same error message repeated several times

[PaigeMiller]

What version of SAS (what version NUMBER) and what interface (Viya, Studio, Base SAS, etc.) are you running? I find no evidence of a PROC REGRESS in SAS.

[talktorob]

I am using SAS-Callable SUDAAN 11.0.4

[PaigeMiller]

I don't know who can answer SUDAAN questions here, I certainly can't. But you might want to go back to your original post and enter SUDAAN into the title. This type of information should not be omitted, and is best placed right at the beginning.

[talktorob]

Is there an equivalent procedure in SAS that can perform the same function? I think this might be an 'estimate' statement. 

[PaigeMiller]

PROC GLM

PROC GLIMMIX
